Hi,
I'm using the curl functions in php to scrape the wan ip address from my
home router (the router is an SMC product). This is a two step process:
1. post the password value to the login.htm page
2. capture and parse the content from the status_main.htm page
On the SMC's login.htm page there is a form with the following elements:
<form name=tF method=post action=login.htm>
<input type=password name=pws>
<input type=hidden name=page value=login>
<submit value='LOGIN'>
Here are three test cases - only the first two work as expected. I need to
understand why I got that third response... posting the variables causes a
the SMC to give me a redirection to index.htm which does not exist?
COMMAND LINE TEST (returns login.htm and status_main.htm accurately):
curl -d page=login.htm -d pws=mypassword
http://10.10.10.1/login.htm
curl
http://10.10.10.1/status_main.htm | grep 'wan_ip'
PHP NO-POST TEST(returns login.htm accurately):
$ch = curl_init("http://10.10.10.1/login.htm");
$strIP = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
PHP POST TEST (returns an unexpected result):
$ch = curl_init("http://10.10.10.1/login.htm");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "page=login&pws=mypassword");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$strIP = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print "<!-- $strIP -->";
